Society would be better off if children respected adults. Since it is now illegal to even spank your own children, let alone discipline others' children, today's youth have learned that they can get away with anything. They deliberately disrespect and even pick fights with adults just for the thrill of it.

Yes! i would never want anyone to hit my children i would not like it. It would be on if someone hit my kids but if they are disrespectful to you then i think a simple time out would be just fine and tell there parents what they have done its your house and i understand i would not have someone Else's child come in my house and disrespect me no but don't hit them. If they are part of your family it would be ok but not if your babysitting no.

Yes it is very wrong. It sends the wrong message to children, which is " hitting is OK ". Then people wonder why the teens of today became the way they are. they learn from the way adults treat them,and, if it's OK for an adult to hit them, it's got to be OK for them to hit others.
There are other ways of punishing a child.
Take away a favorite game for a while.
Put them in a time out chair for every minute of their age.
( an 8 year old would get 8 minutes. )
For older kids, take away phone or other privileges.
But, there's no way to rationalize hitting a child.
And, mind you, this doesn't even include the legalities that you could face .

First of all, I dont believe in hitting children. I believe that reasoning with them or putting them in time out is a solution to bad choices. A child is never bad, they just make bad choices. If you smack your childs butt for something that they did, then that is fine. Just because you correct your kids that way doesnt mean that someone else does that with their kids. If you hit someones child they may fear you because they are not corrected that way. If the other parent gives the ok, I still wouldnt smack them. I would just explain that we dont do or say those things in this house and if i hear it again you will sit on time out. you can put a child in the chair and let them stay there all day if they dont listen. Soon or later they will get the drift that "hey she is not kidding". If it continues then you may tell the parents that you wont watch the child for them, or that he or she may not come back over to play with your kids and their toys until they start to respect you and your wishes in your home.

I would go mad if someone else smacked my daughter!! Whilst I have babysat for other parents over the years ~ I have never laid a finger on that child! If she/he is naughty or disrespectful.. shut them in their bedroom for about 3-5minutes to allow them to calm down and realise their bad behaviour is not acceptable! If that fails,then gently tell them this is wrong and naughty,there is no need to actually hit them as they will only get worse and eventually become frightened of you! I feel childrens bad behaviour is frustrating for you.. but just try to remember that the child is not yours to punish without permission first!

I think that is the most disrespectful thing you can do. You have no right to harm any human being exspecially someone else's children. How would you feel if someone hit your children and hit them too hard and left a bruise or seriously harmed them?? It is illegal to hit another adult so why would it be ok to hit a child.

yes i dont think you should hit someone else child, but there is nothing wrong with haveing the child sit in time out then explain to the child why there sitting down letting them know they did something that hurt you. And when there parents get home let the the parents know what happened making sure you tell them that you did displine there child. so the child wont get in trouble again.

How previous is that this new child? If the youngster is a huge teen and hits a figure, call the police. i imagine slapping and paddling a baby are kinds of abuse. If my 13 365 days previous daughter mouths off, she receives grounded, or loses cellular telephone, etc. That hurts her some distance more desirable than a paddle might want to, I assure. and he or she is an sensible man or woman, no longer an animal.

Not only is it wrong to hit someone else's children when they are disrespectful, but it's wrong to hit your own children! - EVEN when they are disrespectful!

Yes......if you have a problem with somone else's child then you should take it up with that parent. If you dont do that...then it could be considered battery. It's not your place to punish by physical means any child other than your own. And even then...its not right. Children learn from example.....if they are taught that being hit is ok...than.they will hit others too
